Wilton Heart Giant Cookie Pan

 (3 customer reviews)

I am on my second attempt to create a heart-shaped Valentine treat with this pan. The first attempt, I followed the recipe and directions. I questioned whether or not the chocolate chip cookie would really come out by just greasing the pan with vegetable spray, as instructed, but pressed on. Usually I would line it with parchment paper. No dice. I finally got it out with a very long-bladed spatula and a lot of bad words. I checked the directions again, and thought maybe a brownie mix would work if I made a parchment "truss" to help it out of the pan. Greasing the pan before and inverting it as directions say does not seem to work. My brownie is wrecked. It's still a cute pan, but I wanted to give the treats as gifts, not have to give the pan as well. Though right now that doesn't seem like a bad idea..

I bought this to make Valentine treats for my children. I am a good baker, decorating cakes, and various other baked goods. I personally don't care for cookies very much, and up til now haven't had an interest in making a giant cookie. This year I opted to make a giant cookie in lieu of buying my children a bunch of candy or yet another stuffed animal they don't have room for. So I was surprised to discover that the Wilton set I purchased didn't include any directions more-less a recipe. Now I have to waste time Google-ing exactly how this works, and fingers crossed that I don't have the same trouble that one of the other reviewers had.

Good Pan for the price. Local stores always have a lot of Wilton items, but you never find this one. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon, and it arrived very quickly.
